If you want to recommend me some songs, that'll be appreciated since I'm running out of good songs here!

I woke up in a daze, my chest felt heavy and when I looked to see what was crushing me, I saw the cat and dog from yesterday. They were both curled up in a ball on my stomach and after a few minutes, they woke up as well.

"Um... Hi fellow animals? I know this may seem stupid since you can't understand me but you're crushing me so can you scoot over?" I gesture for them to move to the side and surprisingly, they did. What well trained animals. I had a soft spot for animals and I always used to help out at the animal shelter in my past life so I just went with the flow of two strays laying on my bed.

I really wanted to pet them... Aw shucks, I'M JUST GOING TO PET THEM! I pet the animals with both my hands and they were licking me, SOOOO CUTEEEEEEEE! OWW! I look at my fingers and the cat and nothing was there. But blood was on their mouths.

"We can finally speak, isn't that pleasant." The dog said. Wait... THE DOG SPOKE.

"Hello master, how are you this fine morning." The cat said as she licked her paw.

"Wait... You can speak?" I was amazed a the talking animals.

"Of course we can speak, after all, we are your familiars now. You gave us names last night." Last night was real?! So... I named them...

"Astro and Luna?"

"Yes master?" They both said at the same time. Oh gosh, I STOLE the heroine's familiar. But, didn't she only have one familiar in the game? Then, it may be a different familiar. Oh then, that's good.

"Wait, why were you injured yesterday?" I ask after remembering them in the forest.

"Well me and Luna had a fight on which was better, dogs or cats. It got a bit physical," Astro answered. I look at both of them who had a face of guilt before sighing and introducing myself.

"My name is sylviana de crystal Scilla, you can call me Slyvia or Sylvi. Don't call me master or anything, that feels weird."

"Very well Sylvia. We are at your service," Astro said.

"And for your information, no one else can see us unless you want them to unless they're more powerful than you." Luna said.

"I see, then... For now, let's go and get breakfast." I get out of bed with Luna and Astro floating behind me. My maid Ella dressed me in a simple green dress and by the time I got to the dining room, my mother and father were already there.

"Good morning, mother and father," I greeted as I sat down and started to help myself to some egg and toast. My father nodded and went back to his newspaper while my mother said good morning back.

Although my father doesn't act it, he is actually a big softie when it comes to his family. I should know since he's been spoiling me rotten since the day of my blessing. Whatever I ask for, he gets. If I didn't know of the future, I'm sure I would've turned spoiled too.

"Ah yes, Sylvia, you shall be attending the crown prince's birthday ball next June. By then, you will be six so you should have mastered all the etiquette and manners of a noble," my mother said as she sipped her tea. Oh crap. I got so used to my new life that I've forgotten all about the game and the targets!

Unlike most Otome games, the villainess did not have an adopted brother since she already had an older brother who was on that special training thing. From what I heard from mother, he won't come back until I'm thirteen. By then, he'll be 17 and ready to start working underneath my father. I never knew what my brother was like since I've never seen him. I can only wait and see what happens. Anyways, back to the capture targets!

There are only four capture targets with an extra hidden target, the reason being is that this Otome game was more complex than others. It took me almost three months to complete each of the capture targets and took me almost a year for the hidden target.

That was because each and every decision could put you on a completely different route with the true happy ending being the heroine gets married to the hidden target and they have a family. It was truly a beautiful ending if I do say so myself, the problem is that the hidden capture target was the crown prince of drogoria.

The only way to even meet the crown prince is to switch routes in the crown prince of hefelia's route by helping the other prince in the war. This led to the crown prince of hefelia turning corrupt and trying to be a tyrant so the heroine helped the crown prince of drogoria to stop him. This also results in them two falling in love and getting married and all that romantic jazz. The problem is that in the middle of the war, the villainess gets killed because she didn't practise her magic well enough and died from a measly attack of fire. Talk about under kill.

But I remember that drogoria and hefelia were on good terms before so I don't understand what caused them to turn into enemies.

"Father, I wish to be excused to the library," my father nods at me as I speed to the library to write down the events of the Otome game in case I forget. I write it in Japanese so no one but myself can read it.

Ok, first capture target is the crown prince of Hefelia: Ace von klioth hefelia. He is a soft hearted prince who absolutely despises the bratty villainess. He meets the heroine first at his seventh birthday and after being hounded by the villainess, he seeks sanctuary in the garden where the heroine just so happens to be talking to herself and he falls with her embarrassingly cute side. I think it's dumb how men always like the clumsy and sweet talked girls. Are they that insecure that they can't love a smart and sharp tongued girl?

Anyways, ace is intrigued with the heroine as she is like a "fresh breath of spring" quote unquote. He starts to fall for her while also despising the villainess even more because of her snobby attitude. He has hated the forced engagement ever since his seventh birthday and has always been looking for a way to call it off. When he realises that the villainess is bullying the heroine, he gets so mad that he publicly announces all of her crimes at the graduation ball, therefore annulling his engagement and then he asks his father to send the villainess to war with drogoria where she is killed by the enemy. However, I have no interest in the crown prince so I'll leave him to his love life with the heroine.

Next is capture target #2: Allen Kagamine (ik its based on the Kagamine twins but I love them so much ima include them in this so... Deal with it!!! And enjoy :)) he is the son of the queen's younger brother, duke Kagamine and also the crown prince's cousin. Allen has a sister called Rillaine who dies on their 11th birthday due to assassins. Because of this, he turns into a huge playboy and hits on every single girl except those with blonde hair or blue eyes because they remind him of his dead sister. Since the heroine has brown hair and eyes, he tries to hit on her on the first day of high school.

Obviously, the heroine refuses any of his flirts, putting the "I'm not like other girls" line into action. This makes him interested in her and blah blah blah they fall in love. Yknow, the usual with Otome game playboys. However, when he finds out the villainess is bullying the heroine, he kidnaps her and locks her up in a disgusting rat-infested basement.

He also feeds her a bit of poison every day just to make her do it up blood, but not enough to kill her. Eventually, the villainess went mad from all the pain and bit her tongue, killing herself. Jeez, remind me to also never piss off Allen.

But... Since this all started cuz of Rillaine's death, then I'll just stop the assassination and hopefully he won't kill me in the future. Phew, that problem is fixed for now, ON TO THE NEXT CAPTURE TARGET! Mason redcliffe.

He is the childhood friend of Ace and Allen as well as the son of the ministry of defence and ace's bodyguard. The guy is extremely well versed in swordsmanship and is also very hot especially in the CG scene of him training! No wait! This ain't the time to be fawning over muscles! But those muscles... Smacks myself stop thinking about them muscles!!!

Anyways, Mason meets the heroine on Ace's birthday when she dropped her handkerchief. He then returns it and them two start talking, then became friends despite the difference in social status. I swear to god, WHY do all these capture targets not care about social status? It's there for a REASON and that reason is so the country doesn't fall into disaster due to the imbalance of nobility. Lemme just explain...

In this world, it's is very important for you to marry someone of your status because they will most likely also have the same magic capacity as you. If someone with a big magic capacity like ace marries someone with low capacity such as a random commoner, they would not be able to have children as their magic wouldn't be matched. The heroine is a one off in this situation but there is always a big risk when it comes to marrying someone when there's a big gap in status especially if their mana capacity is different.

Anyways, back to Mason... He's just another lovesick teenager who would do anything to protect the heroine even if it meant killing the villainess when she tries to attack the heroine. The heroine and him don't end up together in the end though because she become a saintess who cannot marry in the bad ending. In the good ending mason and lily get married and have a good life with a child.

Capture target #4 is Aiden Florence. He is the capture target the heroine meets when she's at the temple. He has a really good poker face but deep inside, he's suffering from a traumatic event that happened as when he was a kid. His father was in the underworld business and he forced aiden to help him when he was just a child. Aiden's father finally got convicted and sent to prison and aiden had to go through therapy to even start speaking again. The temple took him in because he was technically still a noble so they raised him until they sent him to high school.

It was the heroine that helped him to see the light of life again and he fell for her. He enrolled in the high school and he and the heroine grow closer. When he hears that the heroine has been bullied by the villainess, he snaps and kidnaps the villainess only to sell her to a slave trader where she is killed for being annoying. Sheesh, that's a bit harsh of a punishment for some bullying. I'd take the exile out of the country any day but sadly, that ending isn't in this Otome game.

And finally, the LAST target in the Otome game, dun dun dun! Lucas Archonite! He's the crown prince of Drogoria and is also the hidden target in the Otome game. As you know, the heroine meets him in the war where she betrays the corrupt ace for him and they lead an army to invade hefelia. What a traitor! She literally invaded her own country, anyways, Lucas falls for the heroine who is trying to help everyone she can. He loves her innocence and eventually, asks her to be his empress at the end of the war.

Of course she accepts and they live happily ever after. BLEH! The villainess doesn't even come into this route since she died earlier on. So... The only way to love if it comes to this route is to become OP and fight for my life... So this route is basically a gamble. I could always just travel to another country if that happens...

OK! OPERATION SURVIVAL ROUTE IS A GO! Stomach rumbles AFTER LUNCH! I'm starving, I hope they have red velvet cupcakes. Oh, and chocolate cupcakes... And strawberry cheesecake... Yknow what, just get me the entire bakery.
